Caligula appears to be feeling much better. He was walking around yesterday with little trouble and finally able to move his tail, even if it is still leaning to the left. I’m so glad it wasn’t something worse. I’m still in pain though. What? Oh yeah, sunburn. It’s feeling worse today than it was yesterday, […]

July 22nd, 2007 by pleia2
It’s been a pleasant weekend. The weather is hovering in high 70s, low 80s with very little humidity. I ended up filling my mp3 player with podcasts yesterday and spending 3 hours tending to my gardens. Afterwards I cut up a bunch of fruit we had around the house and was feeling so domestic that […]

Wii, fests and weather
July 19th, 2007 by pleia2
Sunday I did end up having a couple friends over. It was fun, they brought their Wii and after some failed attempts by myself to play Tennis we switched to Mario Party 8, which was so dripping in cute that I fell in love. Alas, I will not be searching all the local stores to […]

House to myself weekend
July 14th, 2007 by pleia2
Michael left Thursday evening for the dance retreat where he’s supporting a Sun-Moon dancer at the Birdsong Peace Chamber through Monday. Amazingly, this will be only the second time we’ve been apart for more than a couple days since I moved in 5 1/2 years ago, the first time being when I skipped up to […]

QSOL breaks their tasteless advertising promise
July 13th, 2007 by pleia2
My employer recently footed the bill for a subscription to Linux Journal for me (how cool is that?). I received my first issue this week, dove into it, and was floored by the 5th page. No, not by some fantastic article, not by the ToC, by an advertisement. An advertisement by QSOL.com Server Appliances. WARNING, […]
